@shasta2292 Thank you for your response. Did you get a second opinion before deciding on doing the procedure? My doctor is doing both eyes at the same time. Should I be concern?

@hsantos435 I did get a second opinion and that doctor confirmed I have grade 2 angles and said I would “probably” be OK to wait but told me that if I got a stabbing pain in my eye, I needed to go to the emergency room immediately and that I could go blind in 1-2 hours. Because I travel a lot, it seemed too risky to wait and I knew I would always be worried about it when traveling so I decided to have it done. It seems like most doctors do one eye at at time, so I would ask your doctor why he wants to do both at the same time. I hope that helps!
